Steward Health Care is the largest private, tax-paying physician-led health care network in the United States. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Steward operates 37 hospitals in the United States and the country of Malta that regularly receive top awards for quality and safety. The company employs approximately 42,000 health care professionals. The Steward network includes multiple urgent care centers and skilled nursing facilities, substantial behavioral health services, over 7,900 beds under management, and approximately 2.2 million full risk covered lives through the company's managed care and health insurance services.

As part of our commitment to the community, Scenic Mountain Medical Center continuously focuses on lessening wait times in our emergency department. Critical cases are seen immediately and all other cases are seen by a physician and treatment is started within 30 minutes or less.

In order to help improve wait times, the emergency department also offers a Fast Track where non-emergent cases are seen by a nurse practitioner or physician assistant.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a medical emergency, dial 911 or visit the nearest emergency department.
